It's very nice that you are working this hard now. It is really nice
to see someone is working on the PC specific code again. I am looking
forwards to the release. It would be nice if we could get a
kerneltrap article, it could attract more developers. :)

Ok, fine for me.

Right. I assume things remain like they are? For me PC support is
very important, although I work more on PPC support. Please tell us
when you think there is a problem for the PC support caused by another
port.

No, that would not be wise. But having a good prioritized TODO list
is important and people pick up the TODO items quite well.
Thanks,
